I picked up a Blackout and Flash about a month ago and Skip has been helping me with the parts I need So little by little I've been piecing them back together. However there are lots of wires cut moreso on the blackout as anything that had a solenoid was cut out. If anyone has either these games and would be willing to take photos of the the flippers slingshots pop bumpers etc so I can start to rewire everything up It would make my life a lot easier. If it were one or two things I would probably be able to stumble my way through but its quite a bit and I was hoping someone would do this so I can bring these two pins back from the dead.

I can read a schematic for the most part but like I said its a lot of wires in addition the copy for blackout on the pinball database isnt very good and I couldn't find the schematics for Flash. Like I said in my initial post if it was one or two things I'd fumble my way through it but I'd say its about nearly 50 wires total on the Flash and over that for the Blackout

So the wires are the same color codes on the playfield? Blackout only has three pop bumpers. All the plugs in the backbox have been cut off too. so it will be helpful in that manner but it doesnt have the same lighting spinner setup as blackout so I'm not sure how any of this will help me with the playfield wiring. What gauge is the wiring? It does appear that there are two different sizes on the playfield and many of the wires will need to be extended due to them being cut short. I have mainly video arcade games in my collection but these two were so cheap I though I would give it a shot at bring them back to life. At least if I screw something up the investment was relatively low for pinball machines anyway and hopefully I'll learn something along the way.

I can read schematics as stated earlier this my first time taking on a repair of this magnitude as well as the first time I've worked on any under playfield issues. Its not really the solenoids that have caused the issues its more the switches and the amount of wires that are connected. Sadly I thought I would get a little more help here other than telling me to read the schematic. I didn't need to post this to know I needed to follow them. I just thought someone would be kind enough to help me understand how to wire up the switches etc as well as being able to help me check my work, but apparently all I got was a brick wall. I'm sure many of you were as green as I am when attempting repairs and hopefully someone was kind enough to share that knowledge with you rather then telling you to read a book LOL

Thanks for posting some photos from what I see I'm doing alright. Looks like I will need to change the switches on my right flipper mine is only a single switch and I was wondering where those additional wires went to I'll have to try to track down that correct switch setup is that a lane change switch? . Ill post some photos of the work I've completed tommorrow as well as other problem areas that I am unsure of. I have to do a supply run for wiring shrink wrap hardware paint magic erasers and wax

Well the Flash does have all the backbox wires cut LOL but I'm trying to put together both playfields first. I dont think the Blackout backbox is actually original and probably from another williams machine as it doesnt have the GI lighting relay. I've uploaded a few photos the first two are the flippers on the Blackout and one of the pop bumpers as well two out of the three still had the switches wired up but the third did not so I soldered one in. If anyone see's any mistakes feel free to chime in. I've still got to replace both slingshot and switches playfield kickout and switches one of the top lane roll overs, the top spinner and the top three bank target set which was completely cut out

Well the problem areas that I am trying to repair first are the three flippers and both slingshot. Also a shot of the small board that controls the Flash in the playfield mine of complete;y gone so I'm just going to make a new board with new resistors Pretty much everything is gone so any photos you can give me would be appreciated Does anyone know the screw size for the screws that hold down the boards in the backbox? Those are all missing too
Thanks
Jim
